Environmental Economics Proposal

This project aims to establish fruit and shade tree orchards in 20 schools with 850 students each through the Green Schools Program. The goals are to provide healthy nutrition options through fruit harvesting, teach environmental education, and create good learning environments. Activities include planting mangoes, avocados, jackfruit and other fruit trees, teaching students nursery and grafting skills, and raising environmental awareness. The project expects to benefit students through outdoor classrooms and fruit harvesting, feed the local community, and teach students to propagate more trees. Funding will support more environmental conservation efforts.

Stop Global Warming Project

PROJECT TITLE: Green Schools Program (GSP)

FUNDING ORGANISATION: World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF)

Project Description
a) Introduction
Growing fruit with children offers a unique chance to teach them about the importance of
healthy foods and nutrition. Whether the fruit-eaters are children, animals or impoverished
neighbors -- fruit trees take advantage of Mother Nature's natural resources system...and
deliver shade, soil conditioning, food for wildlife and food for humans and our animals. A
good opportunity to educate our next generation about Global Warming.
b) Green Schools Program
This is an environmental program that was designed by WWF as a means of conserving our
environment with particular emphasis to schools and the communities around them. This
program has among its components, issues that address health, water and sanitation,
environmental awareness, tree planting with particular emphasis to multi purpose trees and
species especially fruit trees for nutrition in schools.
c) Overall goal
To provide generations of Children and teachers with healthy nutrition options and
environmental education opportunities in green compounds.
Objectives
1. To enable children to enjoy healthy diets and to create a healthy eating culture
within primary schools.
2. To pass on environment education for protection of our environment.
3. To provide good learning environments for children

d)Target
 20 schools with an average of 850 children
 Each school planting at least 100 fruit trees & 100 shade trees
 Create Funding for Global Warming Event

Planned Activities under the GSP project:


Fruit & Shades Tree planting - This shall involve teachers, parents and the pupils. Fruit
Tree species will range from Mangoes, Avocadoes, and Jackfruits, Pawpaw, Passion fruits,
Oranges and Guavas. These will be sourced from various breeders and distributed to schools.
o Children shall be taught how to raise trees and fruits and they shall be expected to do this at
their respective homes, teach their parents and as a result there will be a multiplier effect.
Demonstrations on Nursery Tree Establishments - children will be taught how to raise tree
nurseries, care for trees and also simple techniques of breeding such as grafting plants for
better quality breeds.
Environment Awareness – This will help pupils learn about nutritional values from fruits,
the value of planting trees and how to care for them in a sustainable manner. The need for
environmental conservation shall be emphasized.
Funding in Global Warming – By creating this event we are able to fund more money by
donating to WWF in order for them to build a future in which people live in harmony with
nature.
Expected benefits from the GSP project
At these schools, the orchards will serve many purposes; as outdoor classrooms. When the
trees start fruiting, children will gain nutritional values from the fruits the harvest to local
food banks. Besides the harvest will benefit the hungry, poor, and needy people living in the
school communities Apart from getting fruits, these fruit trees can provide shades, add beauty
to the school and also provide a source of income to the schools in times of excess fruiting.
Children will be taught how to propagate seedlings and thus will be expected each to plant a
fruit of their own choice at home and to encourage their parents and guardians to follow suit.
Increased income as a result of nurseries being established and sell of seedlings together with
less spending in homes on malnutrition sicknesses. Environment shall be conserved in the
long run.
For Global Giving:
 Funding
 Publicity & awareness creation
 Use Global Giving’s wide branch network as focal points for facilitating regular
interactions
